QPR closing in on £3.5m wantaway West Ham star

Queens Park Rangers are ready to meet the £3.5million release clause in Mohamed Diame’s contract, according to Goal.

The West Ham midfielder has made no secret of his desire to the leave the club following a frustrating campaign last term, which saw him forced to play a more of a wide role under Sam Allardyce.

Diame, 27, has admitted in the past that it would be “a dream come true” to join a top-six club in the Premier League, and even spoke of his disappointment when a move to Liverpool broke down before he joined the Hammers two summers ago.
